Psychodrama education
In 1968 I began my training in psychodrama under the leadership of Anne Ancelin Schützenberger, trainer at that time of the “Groupe français de Sociométrie et de Dynamique de Groupe” and guest of the Verveine (Louvain) which became a section of the CFIP in 1977.
In the course of my training I participated in many different psychodrama groups and acquainted myself with a variety of therapeutic approaches.

Psychodrama activities
From 1970 to 1973 I led a therapeutic psychodrama group with children.
From 1977 to 1998 I led a therapeutic psychodrama group (experiential level) and in 1998 I started and led the didactic psychodrama group at the CFIP.

I also developed with Jacques Pluymaekers (trainer in family therapy), a psychodramatic method called “landscape genogram”, a transgenerational approach which integrates metaphor with the play of psychodrama.
The psychodrama, with its dimension of group work, made me aware of the symbolism that emerges as a result of the collective work of the group. This symbolism can be shown to relate to the work of Jung on the collective unconscious and the archetypes.
I make every effort to ensure that psychodrama remains alive in French speaking Belgium.
I conduct landscape genogram groups in France, Greece, Italy, Quebec and Switzerland.
Since 1993 I have been conducting different training and supervision groups in Sofia, Bulgaria
I have written many articles about the landscape genogram with Jacques Pluymaekers and about the body in therapy with Christine van der Borght. In addition, I have co-authored several articles with Pierre Fontaine.
